That reminds me a Dilbert strip:

Salesman: "We provide win-win situations and customer-focused solutions."

Dilbert: "But, what is the product or service that you actually sell?"

Salesman: "We don't sell, we partner."

The salesman exploits quantum physics by keeping what their company does in superposition until you collapse the waveform by revealing what you're willing to pay for. Instantly a developer at that company gets a bad feeling about something, but doesn't know what, until their manager walks over with a note from sales. They then retroactively do a bunch of work to have a deliverable by the next quarter.
